Group communication device and method
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal configured to establish a group of mobile terminals, comprising:
- means for coupling together the mobile terminal to other mobile terminals for establishing the group between the mobile terminal and the other mobile terminals by placing the mobile terminal and the other mobile terminals in close proximity to each other by at least one of physical contact, magnetic coupling, inductive coupling and capacitive coupling; and
means for initiating a group creation command from the mobile terminal by transmitting information including an identification of the mobile terminal and a reference to the group to a next terminal in a sequence of the other mobile terminals via at least one coupling comprising at least one of physical contact, magnetic coupling, inductive coupling and capacitive coupling.

Abstract
A method for voice based communication between a number of mobile terminals of a telecommunication network, the method comprising the steps of creating a group of said number of terminals and storing group information in each of the number of terminals, recording a voice message in one of the terminals of the group, dispatching the voice message to the terminals of the group from the one of the terminals, and receiving the voice message at least all other terminals of the group. The step of creating a group of terminals further comprises the steps of coupling together a number of mobile terminals, initiating a group creation command from at least one of the terminals, sending predetermined information from terminal to terminal to each terminal of the number of terminals for forming a group information, and transmitting the group information to all of the terminals thus forming a group of the terminals.
